While Uzbekistan is a contender for "most messed up economies in the world", Venezuela, Argentina and Zimbawe, for example will disagree with you :) In Argentina used cars cost more than new ones as well, because new ones are often "vaporware" and take months to actually deliver. Both Venezuela and Argentina use the black market too (Venezuela being far worse than Argentina) I see the same happens in Uzbekistan :) : http://www.eurasianet.org/node/67469 http://www.eurasianet.org/node/67469 Edit: see rafaelm's comment about Venezuela https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=rafaelm https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=rafaelm I live in Uruguay but we have to deal with Argentina's problems (next-door neighbour and 3rd biggest trade partner), and Venezuela is an important trade partner, so we're very aware of their problems.
